Facebook boasts 350 million active mobile users

At the F8 conference, Facebook slipped in a small but significant statistic. The social network, which now boasts 800 million mobile users, has 350 million active mobile users. That’s a rise of 100 million since March 2011 and equates to about 44% of all users.

To ensure their continuing foray into the mobile space over 475 mobile operators around the globe are working to further develop and deploy mobile products for the social network.

“The lack of any significant mobile update at F8 gives credence to the notion that Facebook doesn’t see as much value in continuing to develop its traditional mobile strategy,” says MocoNews.net’s Tom Krazit.

“It’s not hard to imagine Facebook gearing up for a separate mobile-focused event sometime in the near feature. Executives and partners were tight-lipped after Zuckerberg’s morning keynote, but the lack of focus on something as vital to Facebook’s future as its mobile strategy likely means that something big is around the corner.”
